Artist Statement

I photograph in order to remain present. I make images to stay with what is unfolding, even when I do not yet know what it is. I am drawn to subtle shifts — light changing, surfaces wearing down, moments that resist definition. Imperfection, uncertainty, and incompleteness are not problems to solve, but conditions to work within. Often the images move toward abstraction, not to escape the world, but to approach it differently.

My work grows out of attention, repetition, and small variations. I return to familiar places and gestures, allowing chance to enter the process. The body becomes a point of reference, the camera a simple instrument, the landscape an active counterpart. I do not seek control, but attunement.

Curiosity guides the work. I observe, linger, and allow things to remain unresolved. The image is not an answer. It is a place to pause.
